View Poll Results: For A Rep Point - Worth 9 Points Total - Predict Melo & STAT's Combined Point Total

Out of all the contenders we are the most incomplete. We lack an ideal 2 Guard for our team but Fields is doing the best he can. We dont have a true PG, while Shumpert can be that I like his role for him. I hope either Bill Walker turns into JR Smith with Defense cause that would be great, but do you notice he always pushes off and gets called for that offensive foul when he attacks the rim

I hope there's other people who weren't impressed by Rondo's play. His stats don't indicate how average he really is.

LOL?

What r you talking about? Rondo? Average?

He's one of the best, most aware passers and able facilitators in the NBA. That is not able to be disputed. And when you play PG, that makes you extremely good. He is also one of the best rebounders, ball thiefs, and defenders at his position.

That he has had quality players around him isn't a neg, either -- it's just showed that he is able to work with good players and stars and lead them to the promised land as distributor.

Holy ****, if that was average Rondo I'd hate to see him on his game I mean lets be real, all the critics and haters can say our win was not impressive but lets not turn into them. Rondo kicked our ass but we still won.

Or maybe we defended him badly for most of the game.

Don't get me wrong, he did have some good and impressive plays, and average maybe exaggerating, but this is a guy they wanted to trade, for another PG. If he was anywhere near elite the Celtics wouldn't be worrying about their future as much and Ray Allen wouldn't be taking wrongful shots at David West for choosing the Pacers over them.

Dude seriously you and these other people that keep underrating Rondo just need to stop.

I don't get it either. You don't put up numbers like that and make the type of plays he makes w/out the mind and skills to make it happen. These people who doubt Rondo don't know what there seeing on the court.

We definitely miss a PG but there was plenty of positives to take from the game. Was played pretty smartly down the stretch even by notorious "give the game away" D'Antoni!

Lol at KG getting his panties in a twist after the game what a sweet victory

Yea i had to stay away as well. Finally got to finish watching dvr recording. Awesome win! Melo was such a beast and Chandler really holds everything together defensively. This teams going places.

If we want to say that Rondo is average, we have to make him look average first.

So far, we've been making him look better than John Stockton, so saying that he's average is a gross underestimation of his performance against us.

I hate Rondo. I seriously do. The guy is a punk who plays dirty as hell (so do the rest of the Celtics, like Kevin "I trip and choke people who are almost a foot shorter than I am" Garnett) but we've got no grounds calling him average if we're letting him score 30+ points a game against us.

It's inexcusable. Rondo doesn't have much of a jump shot and he can't hit free throws. How in the world are we letting this guy look so good? It'd be one thing if he kept driving to the basket but my goodness he was dropping jumpers on us and that's just sad for a player who we know has no skills in that category. That means mean that we're leaving him WIDE open, and if you watch the footage, we basically let him do whatever he wanted.

Well this is what makes me sick. Where's the freaking defense against this guy? He's a skilled passer, but he's not the type to make average teammates look better. He's good at passing to someone open, such as Ray Allen for a three.

Again, you don't have a so-called "superstar" on your team then try to trade him for another superstar just because you think he's better. There's a WIDE margin between Chris Paul and Rondo. Rondo is a good passer, Chris Paul is a great PG period.
